Rodrigo De Paul has been on Argentina duty with Lionel Messi and has been making fun of the Inter Miami star. The Argentine player teased Messi with a humorous Instagram photo featuring the World Cup Trophy ahead of Argentina vs Paraguay clash
“Today we train together! Did you miss something Lionel???” De Paul wrote on Instagram.
Lionel Messi has returned to international action with Argentina. The reigning world champions appear to be having a good time after winning the World Cup in Qatar in December. Rodrigo De Paul teased his captain on social media regarding the whereabouts of his trophy.
The Champions will be looking to defend the title they earned in Qatar in 2022, when Messi won the global Cup for the first time. Argentina’s captain will be 39 by the time the next edition takes place in 2026. However he hasn’t fully ruled out competing in the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Argentina hosts Paraguay on Thursday night before travelling to Peru on Tuesday. The defending World Cup winners had a flawless six-point start to their qualification campaign. On October 17, the world champions will travel to Peru for their second qualification. Lionel Messi, on the other hand, may not be able to play the whole 90 minutes.
